    Did anyone else do a double take and start counting on their fingers after that People headline?

    (I'm too dispiritedly conflicted about validating rights of the small business designer/IP owners but mourning an as-a-result-lacerated budget to comment on much else in the article here.)

    I was about to say something like "I really wish I look as good as Julia by the time I'm fortysomething," then I realized, (*sigh*) I wish I looked like Julia Roberts now.

    Don't get me wrong, I'm happy with my appearance and all but shit... girl's got perfect skin.

    Sephora vending machines in actual stores seems like a slightly odd choice, but if they put them in ladies' loos, I would be on that like it was cake. It would be so brilliant to do the baleful old I-look-like-death glance in the bathroom mirror, and then just nip over and get a little good-quality blush or a fresh mascara. It would sell like the dickens.

    Somehow these items read like my train of thought when really truly baked - Julia Roberts is so pretty... like that lady's bracelet. Think she'll give it to me if I ask. Oh my god, you know what would be hilarious, if like David Lynch directed a fashion commercial. God I'm hungry, is there a vending machine around here? Dude, vending machines should totally sell makeup. Then I could like get a twinkie and a fuckin lipgloss at THE SAME TIME. I'm a genius. You know what's awesome? Horses. And dancing. People should like dance. On horses. Like a horse ballet. Does that exist? It should because that would be awesome. You know what's really sad? Oprah. Dude... where are my cheetos?

    Okay, but then how do I get the Sephora products back into the vending machine once I've stuck my grimy fingers in every single container, contracted pink eye, and made myself up to look like Harvey Dent's epileptic, washed-up drag queen cousin, hmm? These are the practical questions, people.

    @GreyEminence: It is smug. Horribly so. But! I've fantasized about doing exactly that. You know, like I'm driving past an adorable little house, and I imagine walking up to their door and leaving a note: Call me. Whatever the value of your house, I will give you double for it. I think I do this not out of dreams of ridiculous wealth, but because my own house is so very ugly.

    ETA: My house isn't really ugly. It just needs a lot of work, and I don't have the money to make any of it happen. So I get house-envy, you see.

    Gap, can we have a talk?

    Just...stop, okay? Just stop with the gimmicks. It won't help. You were basically all I wore back in high school. The stuff was vaguely cute and inoffensive. For my boring self, it was just fine. Not too far overpriced, decent quality, and simple: that was your thing.

    The fugly crap you've had in your stores for at least the last 5 years is what is killing you! Not a lack of ceiling mannequins!

    @CynicalPink: If you haven't been back there in the last couple of months, it might surprise you. I was dubious when Patrick Robinson said he was going to completely re-do the collection, back to the drawing board style for fit, fabric, washes, finishes, thread, etc, since normally those "we worked FOUR YEARS on this collection" claims are so much hyperbolic bullshit. (Also, like Sadie, I try to avoid fast fashion.) But in August I bought a pair of their trousers -- mustard coloured, unlike anything else in my closet -- and they've become my favorite pants. They're flattering, really comfortable, don't need special treatment in the wash, and they have realistically sized pockets. (Also the Vena Cava collab dress I have always gets compliments.) Whaddayaknow, I kinda dig the new Gap.

    @Jenna: Mustard trousers do sound awesome, but my biggest problem has been fit and price. Even when I do find something I like at the Gap, it's never worth the price. My second most common thought walking around that store is "That's cute, but it's not $60 cute." But again, it comes down to awkward fit for me. Even the cardigan I bought over the summer is boxy and awkward. None of my friends look good in it either.

    @CynicalPink: Are you small? I was in Gap this summer with a size 8 friend and she was snatching up cute tops in size XS/2. I haven't tried their pants, but as a petite person it seems their dresses and shirts are not going to work. At least, nothing besides their basic t-shirts (still prefer J.Crew's cut for those.)

    @LaFemme: I'm a short "hourglass"...and by "hourglass" I mean "reasonable top half notwithstanding the chubby arms, and an ass and pair of thighs that confound the makers of jeans."

    Gap jeans are a disaster on me in every sense of the word (regulars are too long, ankles are too short, not enough room in the thighs, inches of room at the waist), and on the off chance I find a shirt I can get in to, it's always too expensive for what it is.

    I know at some point the judgment comes down to a matter of style and tastes, which is hard to make a blanket statement about. But even my friends who are all over the Gap aesthetic have trouble with fit and quality in the long term.
